I know, I know…it’s been 17 days since I’ve been around. That’s a long time, even in blog time.

It’s been a busy couple of weeks…shipping out lots of goodies that you all ordered (thank you so much for buying…I thank you and my pocketbook thanks you! lol), working on a new Art Journaling Micro-Workshop, spending the weekend with the Grandboy, Noah, as well as my oldest daughter and her boyfriend…just life, you know what I mean.

Noah had never been to the beach, played in “ocean” water or made sand castles…what a joy it was to enjoy this with him.

He was really amazed at the waves in the beginning but he really warmed up and waded right in with the rest of us. What a ball we all had at the beach together.

My daughter brought her boyfriend, Ricky, with them and we really like him. He seems like a good guy…funny as heck! He’s good to Noah, too, and that means so, so much!

As for me, I’m really working lots in my art journals, searching to find my own, true style…my path, if you will. It’s crazy, I’ve looked around at the things I’ve created and they seem to jump around all willy-nilly, style-wise. It makes me question who I am, artistically speaking.

I guess that’s what I’m working through right now in my “art life.”

While I’ve been busy with all my “stuff”, not to mention the health stuff that I seem to continually deal with (doctors appointments, test, etc.), I haven’t been reading a single blog. I know that if I read one or two, I will feel guilty if I don’t read every single blog in my blog list…so I’ve just had to give up reading blogs for a while.

I am going to get back to reading this week, though. I’ve missed all the inspiration and knowing what’s going on in the lives of so many of you, my bloggie friends.

So, tell me…what kind of things are going on in your life? Do tell, I’ve missed you all so much!

Peace & Love,Barb

P.S. Still lots of goodies in my Artfire shop so be sure to stop in and see if there is something you might need or want! ;-) Thanks bunches!!!

Since I know that my readers are from lots of different time zones and that makes it tough for everyone to have an equal chance to grab things that I’m going to be selling, I made an executive decision. lol

I am listing all of my stuff in my Artfire shop and anyone can purchase from there, but…BUT (yeah, that’s a big but!) only the readers of my blog will know about this little extra something…it’s my way of saying thank you for being loyal, being my friend and for sticking with me.

Want to save 20% across the board for your entire purchase from my Artfire shop?

Sure you do!!!

Just use coupon code BLOG-FRIEND (be sure to include the dash) at checkout and get 20% off your entire purchase, supplies and art, excluding shipping.

How does that sound? Great, I hope.

Now, I’m busy listing things today and will probably take me on into the day tomorrow (Thursday) so give me until then if you want to be able to peruse everything I’m sifting out of my supply and art book hoard. lol (I probably won’t get to the books until tomorrow, btw.)

Just so ya know, the coupon code is good for 7 days and can be used as many times as you want during that time.
